16X writer (Ricoh) only allows writing at 12X max.. (?)

[TiredRob]

Hi,

I just bought a Ricoh RP16/10A-SK CDRW package, bundled with Nero 5.5, but I'm having some problems you may be able to help me with..

Although the drive is supposed to be able to write at 16X speed, this is unavailable to me. Nero only allows me to select up to 12X write speed. I am using 16X capable discs (Creation brand), and I have the drive connected as my secondary master drive, with my source CD connected as my primary slave.

Any ideas on what is wrong please ?

TIA

Rob.
